I took some time today to venture out and do some good old exploring, and I stumbled across what I imagine is a (mostly) forgotten relic out in the Saoghal Valley:
Overlooking the Saoghal.
The sun shines brightly overhead. A giant ram's horn rests on a rough stone altar. Encrusted jewels sparkle opulently across the form of this boar statue. The Black Boar looms here, a massive creature of jet-black.
You see exits leading north, northeast, and west.
Crafted from the rich Aalen timbers of the redwood forest, this noble boar defiantly surveys its surroundings with lifeless emerald eyes. Gleaming gems of many shapes and sizes shimmer across its form, forming ornate patterns of priceless multi-coloured stones, and smooth ivory traces the long curves of its fierce tusks. Perching upon the creature's wooden back, a much smaller statuette of a white owl with round eyes and a hooked beak stares impassively down from its lofty position. A small bronze plaque on the statue's base bears a single line of text.
It weighs about 281 pounds.
You read what is written on a jewel-encrusted redwood boar:
This statue is a tribute to Lord Sarapis from the city of Shallam.
Sarapis' animal, The Black Boar, also roams up in those parts.
This is, without a doubt, the largest boar you have ever seen. Standing with its shoulder nearly five feet high and possessing long, curved, and shining-white tusks, it is otherwise utterly black. This creature, along with the snow owl, is the symbol of Sarapis, the Logos. You sense a glimmer of non-animal intelligence in the boar's eyes, though this may be merely your knowledge of what this creature is influencing your perceptions.
The Black Boar almost glows with nearly god-like power.
He has 100% health remaining.
He weighs about 400 pounds.
He is loyal to Sarapis.
You see nothing in it.
You pet the Black Boar ingratiatingly.
The Black Boar smiles happily.
Thought it was rather remarkable. I'm sure I've seen it before, but it's been a while, so figured I would share.
With a gasping sigh, Truax crumples to the ground, dead.
You have been slain by a backlash of Chaotic fury.
The torturous agonies of the Chaos Court have proven too great for Truax.
Imperator Glaaki, the Eldritch Ascendant throws his hand forward, releasing a cloud of glowing dust that envelops your entire body, choking you.
You have been slain by Imperator Glaaki, the Eldritch Ascendant.
The weave of Creation screams in uttermost agony as Imperator Glaaki, the Eldritch Ascendant obliterates Truax.
As his massive, gaping maw dislocates itself to yawn wide before you, there is but a brief moment of horror as the foetid breath of Cadmus, the Cursed Shaman envelops your form, a horrific stench consuming your every tastebud and each instance of smell drifting within your nose. To a horrifying tune of gut-churning digestion and ravenous hunger, you realise that while your eyes fall towards the sizzling bile and digestive acids of the Cursed Shaman's stomach, the rest of you remains twitching and spastic upon the ground of the Chaos Plane. Agony blooms within you, a last radiant emanation of bile-ridden churning before everything goes black.
You have been slain by Cadmus, the Cursed Shaman.
A cloud of flies swarms about the corpse of Truax, her lifeless form shrivelled and drained by Cadmus, the Cursed Shaman.
You rip into a whisper spiderling with your massive, deadly claws. You have scored a CRITICAL hit! You have slain a whisper spiderling, retrieving the corpse. The young spider wobbles momentarily before ultimately collapsing to the ground, its eight legs pathetically splayed out to each side. Your soul cries out in ecstasy as it reaches new heights of power. You have advanced to level 103. You have reached the illustrious level of 3rd Heir to Ashaxei's Legacy. *** Congratulations, you've just completed the Battlerage Basics task! *** You feel your experience grow as a result of your accomplishment. A jagged crimson shard appears and clatters to the ground. A large pile of sovereigns spills from the corpse.
I had the braid for a while but didn't see a noticeable difference. Probably because I didn't bash as much or as quickly as others do with it. What is the percentage gold increase having it?
Yeah braid got nerfed before gold cap limits... so it only increases gold drop by like 10%.... which is still good, but debatable making like 50 gold per extra a drop in exchange to be open pk
I saw a noticable difference when I had the braid because I never hunt to cap. It’s excellent to hunt with.

I had it the other day and felt really underwhelming. Not only are you open PK, but in most cases it requires a concerted effort and more than a few deaths to get them from some op denizen.
It feels like in general very few people bother with most of the relics unless they happen to spawn on something easy or on the ground. Or at least, most of them are usually on honour denizens' hands when I do RELIC STATUS, save the odd one or two
And you won't understand the cause of your grief...
I think that's generally a good thing. Relics are OP and I'd hate for them to be held frequently. It's nice as a rare "if you want to honours bash" reward imo.
Granted, it's not much of a pk mechanism as is so I don't see why the open pk is necessary. It'd be better imo if it was just you kill the honours mob, you get the relic for X hours then it vanishes. Can't be taken away. No open pk. But temporary.
Been logging in again, and for the first time in a long time, it feels really nice.
I think it's partially the season, but I am hoping to get back into the swing of things over the next couple of weeks. Combat hopefully, then hopefully Hashan and the Krymenian. It will be tough to find time between 30 hours at work and 16 university credits, but hopefully I can be somewhat consistent. Looking forward to reconnecting with everyone!
With the buffs to most honours mobs, it isn't worth putting together groups to get relics anymore. Yeah, I could get Mhaldor to kill Chenubis so we can have the Rageblade, but we're probably going to suffer 20 deaths to get it and then Dunn/Hirst/Ryzan/Morthif are just going to gank you for it as soon as they come online anyway.
Not to mention Penwize coming for you while you’re there?

That is one long task to complete...

I'd prefer it in the house it was in, at least might be able to break into that.
